Change All Parts of an Assembly to Local

General

  • You can change assembly parts from the main level or recursively into local parts.
  • Note that especially when choosing recursive conversion to local, you can also ruin the assemblies in the substructures, because the operation cannot be undone later.
    • To avoid this problem, it is recommended to save the assembly and all its subassemblies as new parts before this operation.
    • The optionally available subprogram helps with this. You can find more information here: > Project Management Tools.
  • You can undo the conversion to local parts with the Undo function or the shortcut key Ctrl+Z when you do it immediately after the conversion to local parts.

Convert Parts to Local

  1. Select the main assembly symbol from the feature tree.
  2. Select the context-sensitive function Other Functions> Change Links to Local.
    • The program opens the dialog box Change Links to Local.
  3. Select the level.
    • Change on 1st level: Only parts and subassemblies of the main assembly are changed to local ones.
    • Change on all levels: All parts and subassemblies are recursively changed to local.
      • Use this option only after careful consideration.
  4. Select OK.

Note: If you did this unintentionally, use the Undo function or Ctrl+Z to cancel the change.
